TRO Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 (edited) On 12/08/2018 at 20:52, OutByEaster? said: I think Kodjia's best days may be behind him - he's still a very decent striker at this level though. Personally I think Davis is our best option up front from the group we currently have - his ability to bring others into play would work really well with McGinn and Grealish - I think that could be something that would be very difficult to defend. i agree in one way....but his ball control and movement needs to be snappier/sharper. pity we couldn't create a hybrid of the two.

I don't feel he will ever be a 20+ striker - however I firmly believe he will have a role to play and will most likely go on to have a good career albeit most Likely at this level.

Yeah, I think he might possibly be sent out on loan at some stage this season or next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really ? - I don't remember him being in the team constantly last season ? - From memory he played a few games where he looked really good, got faded, got dropped and only appeared very occasionally after that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daggy_333 Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 Apparently one of the sunday newspapers are reporting that Chelsea could be considering recalling Abraham in January. Now, if there was any truth in that does anybody think we could try and mould Keinan into a similar sort of player to Tammy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the long term it would be something to aim for, sure. If Abraham is recalled we need to bring ij someone new IMO. Hopefully it wont come to that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was very impressed with Davis when he had a run in the team last season, he seemed to have issues finishing chances but his all round play looked really good. Kinda like a mini abraham :), as in he is appears a good technical player nut should probably convert more of their chances:) So Really, yes I think he could be a similar player, not on Abrahams level cure rly but I do think he has potential. Not a direct replacement though ofc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like Keinan and i think with proper coaching he could be a real asset, he's a big strong lad. I don't think Tammy relies too much on his pace which is why i think we could try and make Keinan into a similar sort of player. Like you say though hopefully Chelsea won't recall him! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lexicon Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 Just now, MaVilla said: How would you describe Davis as a player? Target man, whose main assets are his height and strength. He's good at holding the ball and playing others in, as well as being a goal threat. Abraham is faster, and much more technical - he's very comfy with the ball at his feet and can beat men pretty easily. If it weren't for his height, he'd probably be playing as a wing-forward cutting inside, which is apparently his favoured position. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me, he's a young player with real potential who has yet to quite make his full breakthrough. He looks more of a target man than a regular goal scorer. More Heskey than Shearer like perhaps.

I have heard multiple stores from we paid a fee so they can't, or there just isn't a clause, there is a clause, or we have a bit option and they can't.

Abraham of course is lightyears ahead of him though. Saying that, I think Davis actually quite a skillful player, thought it from the first day I saw him. It's a real shame he was used as a FOOKING battering ram by the previous manager because whilst his finishing is not great, he is a good footballer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwi1890 Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 I think he would thrive in this system , he can pick a pass good hold up play, I saw him dribble through oppenets last season , good close control, he would get more opportunities in front of goal in our current system , he was handled terribly by Bruce as was Hogan , Lansbury , El Ghazi forzen out with no way back in must have hammered his confidence to play a run of games then not get a look in, look how inclusive DS is I always though of Bruce as a good man manager but truth is he is terrible . The soft spoken nice guy is bit of a front , Smith is more what you see is what you get by the looks of it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HanoiVillan Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 Unless Abraham is recalled, Davis should go on loan for the second half of the season IMO. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
